This expansion project more than doubles the existing convention center’s size by adding 100,000 sf of exhibit hall, additional meeting rooms, a 40,000 sf third-floor ballroom, a new parking deck, and a rooftop terrace with sweeping views of downtown Savannah.
25-foot deep trusses support the ballroom as it spans 120 feet over the exhibit hall below and serve to minimize ballroom floor vibrations.
Structural steel framing, inspired by ship masts, supports the new grand facade that greet visitors arriving from the north.
A unique combination of precast an cast-in-place concrete construction was used in the parking structure to accommodate column free space for ground floor loading zones.
